Suggest Remedy For Swollen Knee

Did jumping jacks this morning and my knee popped. No pain. Immediately put ice on it just in case. Now it feels poofy . I don t know how else to describe it. There is a little swelling but still no pain, but I do have difficulty walking; it feels unstable.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee.
Most commonly meniscus injury occurs.

As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
If pain persist then you may need to do MRI to see for any functional defect.

Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
